KMPC8271VRTIEA

The KMPC8271VRTIEA is a single-core, 32‑bit microprocessor based on the PowerPC G2_LE (PowerArchitecture) core, rated at 400 MHz. Designed for embedded communications and general embedded applications, it integrates a rich set of I/O and controller functions to simplify system design and accelerate time to market.

Built for consumer-grade systems, the device combines CPU features such as MMU support and instruction/data caches with dedicated communications hardware (CPM) and peripheral controllers, delivering a balanced platform for networked and control-focused embedded products.

Key Features

• Core 32‑bit PowerPC G2_LE single core running at 400 MHz with MMU and separate instruction/data caches (16 KB each as specified for the family).
• Memory Controllers Integrated DRAM and SDRAM controllers to interface with external system memory.
• Communications Processing On‑chip Communications Processor Module (CPM) and communications‑oriented DSP support to offload packet and protocol processing.
• Ethernet Two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces for dual‑port network connectivity.
• USB One USB 2.0 port (full/low speed) for host/device connectivity.
• Peripheral Interfaces I2C and other serial interfaces for sensor, peripheral, and board‑control integration.
• Power and I/O 3.3 V I/O voltage for common board-level compatibility.
• Package and Mounting 516‑ball PBGA package (27 × 27 mm) in a surface-mount form factor (VR package style).
• Operating Range Rated for 0 °C to 105 °C operating temperature and qualified for consumer applications.
• Environmental RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Network Appliances: Use the dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and CPM to implement routers, switches, or media gateways requiring integrated communications handling.
• Embedded Control Systems: Leverage the 400 MHz PowerPC core and SDRAM/DRAM controllers for control and real‑time management tasks in consumer electronics and industrial automation.
• Peripheral Hubs: Combine USB 2.0 and I2C interfaces with on‑chip controllers to serve as system aggregation points for sensors, user interfaces, and external storage.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated communications engine: The on‑chip CPM and communications DSP capability reduce external processing requirements and lower BOM complexity for networked designs.
• Balanced compute and I/O: A 400 MHz PowerPC core paired with multiple Ethernet ports and USB enables simultaneous application processing and robust connectivity.
• Compact, manufacturable package: 516‑ball PBGA (27×27 mm) surface‑mount package supports high‑density board layouts and industry standard assembly processes.
• Memory interface flexibility: Built‑in DRAM/SDRAM controllers simplify memory subsystem design and speed system integration.
• Consumer qualification and RoHS compliance: Suitable for consumer product programs with lead‑free, environmentally compliant construction.
